New component: [receiver/gelfreceiver]

[BharatKJain]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

We're using GELF based logging for all application logs, which have a GELF client in them - refer to golang GELF client.

We want to support server-side receiver for GELF based logs.

There's already a implementation in Tremor of GELF - link to tremor docs

Example configuration for the component

Is this a vendor-specific component?

• This is a vendor-specific component
• If this is a vendor-specific component, I am a member of the OpenTelemetry organization.
• If this is a vendor-specific component, I am proposing to contribute and support it as a representative of the vendor.

@djaglowski FYI, created a new issue with details, let me know if something else is needed, I don't have a sponsor.

This is not a vendor specific receiver.
